7.6/10

I had a nice stay at the hostel, which is super close to popular areas like Myeongdong and local night markets. The rooms were small but clean, making it comfortable enough for a short visit. The breakfast was quite basic, but the owner, Mr. Kim, was very thoughtful and always made sure we had everything we needed. However, the walls weren't soundproof, so I did hear my neighbors a bit, and it was slightly inconvenient that they don't accept credit cards.
